Automate enterprise workflows through chat
We built Jinba to let enterprise teams create AI workflows using plain language instead of code or drag-and-drop tools. Users describe what they want in chat-like conversation, and Jinba instantly builds and deploys workflows that teams can use immediately without any engineers. It includes enterprise-level permissions, audit logs, and supports on-prem deployment to meet strict compliance needs.
We don't have a fixed, public location for the company. After YC, we will base Jinba where it makes the most sense for growth and operations.
Because Jinba's users are enterprise teams in financial institutions, we've kept location flexible to meet their needs and support on-prem deployment requirements.
